Al-Matari: The next game is to correct our image

Yemeni national team player Abdul Wasi Al-Matari said the next match against Iraq will be the last chance to make things right.

“Iraq is a candidate for the tournament, we are trying to provide a better level and to present ourselves as a competitive team in such big matches,” he told the pre-match news conference on Saturday.

He added: “There are significant negative effects on the players. They are trying to get out of the crisis of heavy loss, and this will be done only through the next game against Iraq.”

It is noteworthy that the Yemeni team lost the game on Friday (6-0) against Qatar in the second round of Gulf 24.
